So who do you want to replace him ?
Posted: Sun Feb 17, 2008 11:58 pmI have been really busy of late, new house and all the decorating, and I have not been able to give my first love the time she deserves. My bird has been neglected, and I hope she will forgive me, although she should know that I am doing this all for her. You see once I get the decorating finished my wife will be happy with the new home, all sparkling like a pin, and I can give my bird the full undivded attention she deserves. I am of course talking about the Liverbird, but I digress.
Back on topic, and I have been reading an awful lot of late about Liverpool Football Club. In fact, more than I fee lcompletely comfortable with if I am honest.
In twelve months, or little more, the holy grail of the investment that we needed so badly, both for on and off the field expenditures has turned out to be a total farce.
The men who we welcomed with open arms and afforded the freedom of the city of Liverpool and our hearts, Messrs Gilet and Hicks have turned out to be nothing more than greedy liars. They said they would secure all debts against their personal assets - the didnt, they said they would back the manager, they spoke with Klinsmann (I mean fuc.kin Klinssman !) and they promised to back Rafa, we spent less than Sunderland for fuc.ks sake.
Fast forward 5/6 months and the promise of it being on, the hopes and dreams of getting in amongst the title challengers have all but disappeared and the same old cracks seem to appear. Players just are not good enough, selections at times baffle me and our strikers cant hit a coa's @rse with a fu.cking banjo.
So we find ourselves in the realms of the cries for replacement.
So the question is who do you want to replace Mr Benitez ?
Lest we forget he was himself the number one candidate ahead of a list of luminaries from the game that comprised of Alan Curbishley, MArtin O'Neill and, erm no one else. Just how long this list will be this time is anyones guess.
Despite the fact that some noteable names in management can be bandied about, who exactly is there to replace the man. IF you are a Rafa outer then I want to know who you want in. A name is not enough, I need reasoning, I need availability, I need to see proff that he is better than the man in the job now.
If its not freely available, then do we stick with what we have. Gerard houllier, much lambasted in his final year was afforded 5 years to instigate his plan, so should the same luxury not be afforded to our current spanish incumbent ?
I dont know the answers, I wish I did, but I do know that it hurts, like hell, right inside me, to be fighting with fellow reds about all this. (this happened at the game Saturday, but thats another story). I do know it breaks my heart to see players like Gerrard, Carragher, Torres and Reina who are at the absolute pinnacle of their prowess in the footballing sense have to play with inept "players" (and I use that word looser than a prozzies labia) week in week out like Kewell, Crouch, Riise and the like.
As I said earlier, the love of my life is going to back in the forefront of my mind soon enough, and I look forward to the joys she will bring as much as the lows. If yo dont lose to Barnsley in the FA Cup then beating Juventus and Milan simply would not be the same.
